I would love to see remote desktops running VMs in a personalized cloud. If us normal folks could virtualize our graphic cards, or give the VM access to one GPU in a multi GPU computer we could have some cost effective lan gaming systems and we could also use our netbooks and Ipads to play games where ever when ever.
You can. What you're looking for is already offered by MS using Server 2008 R2 SP1 and their Hyper-VM service. The feature is called RemoteFX and it works by providing virtualized access to the host system's underlying GPU farm, accelerating audio and video over a Remote Desktop link to the client. DirectX, OpenGL, and Aero are all supported with using the RDP 7.1 protocol. It works both locally via a LAN as well as over WAN, WLAN, etc.
